After having been just about every high-end (and low-end) place to enjoy a cigar, this is a real cigar lounge. Though having no relation to the magazine Cigar Aficionado, this place is certainly for aficionadosthey carry all the exclusive lines of cigars which you never find at those pseudo-cigar stores (OpusX, Padron Anniversarios 1926 & 1964, Maximus, Rocky Patel, Acid, etc.). I went because it was highly recommended by the Hilton Garden Inn in Staten Island. I was surprised to find such an amazing selection of cigars and a soothing ambiance without having to go into the City. Even their selection of accessories and gift-ideas are great for self or others. I found their staff is very helpful, courteous and inviting even if you arent buying anythinga far cry from some of the other places which only talk to you when youre buying something and shun you when you dont. If youre ever find yourself in Staten Island, NY looking for a hidden jewel for cigar aficionados, Cigar Aficion may be your new hideaway.
Pros: Fantastic Selection of exclusive cigars, Smoking Lounge, Helpful friendly staff
Cons: You'll feel like a kid in a candy store
